Top 25 RINOS per Conservative Review Editors. (RINO=Republican In Name Only) #1 and #2 are of course Paul Ryan and John McCain. Democrats love these two. They work hard to put the Deep State first and Amercans last (There's simply no money in putting America first)

In the Mississippi primary, Republican establishmentarians from
around the country solicited votes from Democrats to defeat the
insurgent challenge to Senator Thad Cochran. Their arguments were the
same ones used by the bipartisan ruling class that has ruled America for
a generation:

The role of government is to generate benefits for its
clients,

and those who object are bad people.

They paid many Democrat
voters (nearly all black) so called “walking around money” for their
votes,and have refused in many counties to let McDaniel aides examine
the voter roles to see whether these voters were eligible to cast
ballots.

The retail corruption is much less remarkablethan the acquiescence
therein of the establishment’s leadership – such as Karl Rove and The Wall Street Journal’s
editorial page. This is very remarkable. Rove’s super-PAC,
“Conservative Victory Project,” which played a leading role in
recruiting Democrats for Cochran exists explicitly to defeat insurgent
Republicans everywhere.

To Republican and independent voters who are dissatisfied with the
direction of the country, the conflict between the pretenses and the
actions of such as Rove and of the Journal added insult to injury. The Journal,
for example, never loses an opportunity to declare itself the mortal
enemy of “crony capitalism” as it decries the direction in which America
has been headed, while the word “conservative” as part of the title of
Rove’s super-PAC intentionally evokes the complex of sentiments of
voters angry at the ruling class’s characterization of them as, well,
the litany: “racist, greedy, stupid,” etc.

But, in the Mississippi primary, the Republican Establishment’s
campaign was by and for crony capitalism, and employed the classic
themes by which the ruling class has beaten down the rest of America.

To Mississippians white and black, the establishment’s message was:
All this Tea Party talk about dangerous deficits and the need to cut
spending is a threat to responsible officials’ capacity to bring you the
jobs and federal assistance on which your prosperity depends.
Orchestrating that message was Haley Barbour, former governor of
Mississippi, former national chairman of the Republican Party,

In short, those who oppose the way things are done in America are racists.

You ought to hate them as they hate you.

Why do such things? Cui bono? Clearly such behavior by the Republican
establishmenthas nothing to do with the role it claims for itself of
opposition to the direction on which America has been taken in recent
decades, never mind with anything “conservative.”

It has everything to
do with maintaining its status, and that of its clients, within the
ruling class.

The Mississippi primary confirmed yet again that, if America is to go
in a direction other than the one of which some three fourths of
American disapprove, it is compelled to do so with a vehicle other than
the Republican Party."

With
an unusual assist from African-American voters and other Democrats...Senator Thad Cochran on Tuesday beat back a
spirited challenge from State Senator Chris McDaniel, triumphing in a
Republican runoff and defeating the Tea Party in the state where the
movement’s hopes were bright....

Mr.
McDaniel, speaking in Hattiesburg, was angry, and he did not hesitate
to say so. “There is something a bit strange, there is something a bit
unusual about a Republican primary that’s decided by liberal Democrats,”
he said."...
